You are almost right, actually about half the flights from SVO to LCA
are Tu154s, the rest is IL86s... As for Continental, indeed no relation
to the one in Huston, they use Tu154s and IL86s not B772s! Their icao
code is PVV. The others that fly regular services from SVO or DMO to LCA
are AJT Air (TRJ), Orenburgh (ORB), Kras Air (KJC), Sibir (SBI), KMV
(MVD - they use Tu204), IRS Aero (LDF), and more that I can't recall
now.... As for their quality, when you see the external appearance of an
IRS IL86 or a Kras Tu154, you will immediately know they are taken
excellent care of - actually they are brighter, shinier, and cleaner
than most European airlines' aircraft!

>>>>That's probably a good thing Grant.....but seeing as most of the flights to
Cyprus seem to be on Tu-154s, you really shouldn't have a problem. And

QF
contracts in for their Airlink service. ;-)

different company owned by (I think) Natalie Tours (or am I thinking of
another airline here?). Also, the CO you are thinking of is based in
HOU/IAH, not ATL. You are probably thinking of DL
